    Time Event
    2:37a
    Israel broke cease-fire

    Israel broke the cease-fire with Lebanon by destroying a specific building by bombing. It gave warnings first, but that doesn't mean the attack was justified.

    Urgent: Robert Reich on Social Security

    US citizens: phone your congresscritter and senators at (202) 224-3121 and call on them to save Social Security, by rehiring the staff that the DOSE(*) got rid of and reversing all other recent changes made by the bully and the muskrat.

    * Depredations of Swinging Evisceration.

    2:37a
    Urgent: Town-hall meetings

    US citizens: phone your congresscritter and say, "Hold town-hall meetings with the public, in your district and maybe in other districts too."

    When Democrats do this, it wins support. But when Republicans do this, it exposes what they really are.

    If you phone, please spread the word! Main Switchboard: +1-202-224-3121

    8:38a
    Social Security website crashing

    *Social Security website is crashing, nobody monitors customer experience since DOGE eliminated that office.*

    This could be their plan for how to get rid of Social Security in practice even though it may continue to exist in name.

    Academics in US

    Academics in the US are making preparations in case they are disappeared.

    I expect that Republican officials will maintain the lie that the people who may be arrested and deported are supporting terrorists and insist that nothing is wrong.

    FDA official in charge of vaccines has resigned

    The FDA's official in charge of vaccines has resigned, saying RFK "wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies."

    This and other appointments described here suggest he will attack vaccinations and put Americans greatly in danger.

    That includes me. I got a Covid-19 booster vaccination a week ago, because I was worried it might cease to be available if I waited. That's good for now, but what about next fall. and subsequent years.

    Florida law against teachers that are Chinese residents

    Florida's law forbidding hiring teachers who are officially residents of China (or some other countries) makes no exception for Chinese refugees who are applying for asylum.

    I wonder whether this law violates federal anti-discrimination law.

    European universities rescuing threatened scientists from US

    European universities are starting to rescue threatened scientists from US universities.

    Turks holding large rallies

    Turks are holding very large rallies for jailed opposition leader İmamoğlu.

    Parents following RFK's medical misinformation

    Parents following RFK's medical misinformation are giving their children cod-liver oil, thinking that will cure or prevent measles. It does nothing against measles, but it does cause liver damage.

    Quid pro quo deals between US government and billionaires

    Alvaro Bedoya, FTC commissioner until he was fired by the corrupter, warns of apparent "quid pro quo" deals between the US government and billionaires. In other words, apparent corruption.

    When the "Department of Justice" is part of the same corruption, there is no way to tackle it.

    8:38a
    Head of CDC facing right-wing disinformation

    The wrecker tried to appoint a serious medical researcher as head of the CDC. He, and she, now face right-wing extremist disinformation.

    I expect he will try to develop a system by which to control more completely which kinds of disinformation are permitted.

    </li>
    8:38a
    Wrecker attacking law firms

    The wrecker is attacking law firms with executive orders to cut off their business. Three of them have taken legal action against these orders.

    </li>
    8:38a
    Search warrants for student rooms

    The deportation thugs seems to have got search warrants for student rooms at Columbia University by misleading a judge, as well as misrepresenting the law they were claiming to enforce.

    </li>
    8:38a
    Urgent: Protect privacy of customers of 23 and Me

    Everyone: call on the directors of 23 and Me to protect the privacy of their customers.
